Mount Olivet Cemetery is proud to now offer Treemation!
What is treemation?
Treemation is a growing trend during which your loved one’s cremated remains are placed in a biodegradable burial urn and interred in the ground. A tree is then planted on top of the remains. Overtime, the burial urn breaks down and gives nutrients to the tree.
Why treemation?
We realize many individuals are looking for more sustainable, cost-efficient burial options. This choice is ideal for those with loved ones who may be waiting to be interred, and maybe being kept on a mantel or in storage. Perhaps bad weather, a change in locations or timing made it
impossible to inter your loved one. Honor them now with our Treemation program.
How long does it last?
Once placed in the ground, the burial urn will start to break down and dissolve into the soil. The tree is tended by our maintenance staff and has a five-year guarantee. Depending on the type, your loved one’s tree may exceed a lifespan of 30 years.
What’s included?
Your purchase includes a burial space, interment, an eco-friendly, biodegradable urn, wooden marker, a locally sourced tree ideal for our agricultural zone and ongoing maintenance by our caring staff.
Other details?
Treemation is available April through October each year. It is an at-need service.
